Contract Compliance serves as the support agency and administrative arm to the Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Program and the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Program. The mission of Contract Compliance is to ensure that the legislative intent of City Ordinance #5384 and City Ordinance #5366, which created the EBO and SBE Programs are carried out in all procurement activities and opportunities. Areas of administrative authority and/or enforcement include areas of City procurement activity: construction, professional services, and goods & non-professional services.
